This one is kind of embarrassing: Years ago, I wrote a trilogy of short fanfics about Wilykit and Wilykat from ThunderCats. And somehow, in switching from one computer to another, I lost the MIDDLE story. I've never found it again; I think the only place I posted it was on a ThunderCats-themed Yahoo group that is now defunct.

If you're writing a fanfic, then it's easy: You can just use an established character as the basis for comparison. ("Phineas looked up at the teenager, who was almost a head taller than he," "Her breasts seemed enormous, more than twice the size of Vanessa's"). More generally speaking, throwing numbers at readers is probably less effective than describing the character's appearance as others might perceive it. ("She looked like an Olympic volleyball player--six feet tall, willowy, and deeply tanned." "The man's short, wide physique reminded Matt of an airlock door.") IMO, adding these subjective details makes the character's appearance more memorable for readers.

"Octomom? Hi, I'm here for your echo test, your echo test."

no leashes, this is magus we are talking about, how about electric collar and fences?

Oh my! I have a ton of lost stories that were all handwritten; my last fiance got a storage unit before we decided to move and he never paid on it. I lost not only every story that I had written/typed between the ages of twelve to twenty but all of my school memorabilia from kindergarten to senior year! Anyway; the one that I actually hate that I lost was one that had no title and no end in sight. It was typed (and man, I remember how I had to go to the only store in town that carried that specific ink every month for that typewriter) and I placed it in a purple binder. I've always been a sportsaholic and so this story was surrounding my favorite college team. Every now and then, I would think about that story and giggle about the little parts that I could remember! I hate that I lost it because it would be 99.99999% hilarious and awful right now but it would be proof of how old I was when I started to really get into writing... and how weird my little mind was back then! I also remember this one that I started writing when I was about nineteen about a figure skater who fell in love with her bodyguard. Someone told me that it reminded them too much of The Bodyguard (Whitney Houston/Kevin Costner flick... just in case you didn't know) which I had never seen, even to this day. I didn't want for people to think that I copied the movie and stopped writing it! Once I became a member on here, I had long since invested in the power of the flash drive and so whatever story I decide to delete from here, I will always have a copy of somewhere!
